I just bought a xbox 360 controller to play madden on my pc. Microsoft has not released any software to customize the buttons, and the game does not natively support the gamepad. Are there any free 3rd party programs that can do this? I have tried Pinnacle Game Profiler but I do not want to pay for something that should be free. Thanks

a regular X-box controller would have been best...then spend the few bucks on ebay and get a converter. then your ready to rock and roll. 360 controller is more directed and technically designed specifically for the 360 not a computer.in fact im pretty sure it dosent work on a computer my freind has a X-Box 360 and he says that the controllers arnt meant for the computer in general.

I bought the pad just for Madden on the PC. And I am having the same problem that you are having john. Any help here would be appreciated. I sent an email to EA asking for any assistance they could give, but don't expect anything to come of that. This handle does work with the PC unlike Gatsu's Comment and is designed to work with it. We just need something that allows Games to recognize the Right and Left Trigger buttons not as axis buttons but rather actual buttons. Thanks!
